Date and Venue Confirmed for Silicon Alley Job Fair

We have a date for the Silicon Alley Job Fair, inspired by the perception of elitism from the NYC Startup Job Fair, which rejected more than 60 companies with a semi-public email. According to the email list, the event is confirmed for Thursday June 16th at The Armory, which is 27,000 square feet and can therefore accommodate the 100 companies expected to show up.

“There are over 20 of the best Universities promoting this event to their graduates and alumni in the Tri-State area, as well as the lovely press and startup influencers. We should have a nice supply of talent at the event,” Tarek Petrew, one of the organizers, wrote to the list. Follow the latest on Twitter at @startupjobsny.
